He is Your Shield - (Psalm 91:4)

"He Is Your Shield" – Inspired by Psalm 91:4

"He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler."

This striking charcoal artwork, He Is Your Shield, powerfully captures the tension of a pivotal moment. A warrior, clad in medieval attire, grips her crossbow firmly, her gaze cast over her shoulder, reflecting both caution and resilience as she navigates an uncertain path. The castle walls tower behind her in the distance, a place she is now leaving—a stronghold she once trusted but can no longer rely on. Now, she ventures forward, aware of unseen dangers yet steadfast in her resolve.

More than just an image of physical strength, this piece speaks deeply to the Christian journey. It symbolizes the battles we face—whether spiritual, emotional, or physical—and the assurance that God is our protector. Like the warrior in the scene, we may feel pursued by trials, but we are never alone. The stormy sky and windswept hair emphasize movement, yet the unwavering presence of God stands as her ultimate refuge and shield.

Rendered in exquisite detail, the contrast between shadow and light reminds the viewer that even in the darkest moments, God’s faithfulness remains. He Is Your Shield is not just a work of art—it is a statement of faith, a reminder that in every battle, God goes before us, shields us, and leads us forward.
